Write You - Europe's Textile And Clothing Producer Gear Up For Expansion
According to their annual report available on their website, in the last fiscal year-ending, SBC spent over two-and-a-half billion dollars on advertising. Verizon's annual report shows just over two billion. Sprint, nearly a billion. AT&T (who had stripped back their advertising budget) just under half a billion. Many corporations will never see such income amounts in their entire lifetimes, let alone advertising budgets and this begs the question, if a telecom carrier can spend a fortune on advertising, why can't they invest a fraction of that amount to ensure accurate billing to their customers? Because of billing inaccuracies, customers are forced to implement their own call accounting solutions.Fortunately for the customers, robust call accounting software solutions such as TelSoft Solutions MegaCall now exist, allowing compani

Most people are familiar with franchising. For the benefit of those who are not, according to wikipedia.com franchising is the system of doing business wherein a franchisor licenses trademarks of a product and tested methods of doing business to a franchisee to receive payment like a percentage from gross per sales or gross profits as well as the annual fees agreed upon, as compensation for the trade secrets shared as part of the franchising agreement.

Sometimes, the methods on how to do the business may not be part of the franchise or other benefits that other franchising companies give may not be available to others.The most common franchising companies known to the public would be chain of food stores like McDonald’s which nowa
Between 2000 and 2006, Bulgarian production of textiles expanded by 152%, while output of clothing increased by 109%. By comparison, EU production of textiles fell by 21% over the six year period, while output of clothing fell by 32%.
Furthermore, as one of the two newest members of the EU, growth of the Bulgarian textile and clothing industry seems set to continue.
The textile and clothing sector’s success can be attributed to a variety of favourable factors.
Small to medium sized enterprises
Between 65% and 95% of firms within the Bulgarian textile and apparel industry are small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). These types of companies are characterised by their ability to:
* be flexible in their manufacturing operations;
* react quickly to changes in clients’ needs;
* provide speedy delivery;
* respond rapidly to requests for improvements in quality.
Geographical location
Bulgaria’s geographical proximity to the EU has enabled Bulgarian textile and clothing manufacturers to build strong relationships with customers in the EU and other nearby markets, especially when some of their closest competition in terms of price and quality are low cost Asian manufacturers in China and India.

Aside from advertising, the biggest expense involved in mail order business is postage. This means that virtually everyone involved in mail order is on the look-out for ways to save money getting their sales offers out to prospects. The answer is co-op mailings.Here's how a typical co-op mailing service works: A person with something to sell via mail sees an advertisement inviting him or her to send their circulars or brochures to co-op mailing service. The co-op mailing service receives these circulars or brochures and hires housewives or handicapped people to fold and stuff them into envelopes and then mails them. For this service, they charge anywhere from $10 to $100 per thousand--and it's a good deal to the mailer.Now, quite naturally the co-op mailer can do this and make any money unless he's got a number of circulars

Labour costs play an important role in the competitiveness of textile and clothing manufacturers, particularly given the intense competition that manufacturers face from low cost producers in Asian countries. With this in mind, the fact that Bulgarian producers can compete with Chinese producers in terms of labour costs gives them an important advantage in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
Removal of hold-ups and tariffs at customs
As part of EU membership, trade between Bulgaria and other EU member states is free from customs duties. Also, hold-ups at border points have been minimised. This should result in quicker deliveries to EU export markets, shorter transportation times, and reduced logistics costs.
Harmonised health, safety and environmental (HSE) regulations
A number of government enforced regulations -- such as those relating to health, safety and the environment -- have been harmonised with those of the EU. As a result, Bulgarian manufacturers who achieve international quality and environmental certification will stand in good stead with European buyers. These improvements may also open up Bulgaria’s textile and clothing industry to a wider range of potential investors who enforce strict health, safety and environmental (HSE) policies with respect to their business operations.
European mentality towards doing business
